Tip: Force your GNOME panel to reload

If you’ve installed a GNOME Applet, but you can’t see it in the Add menu, then you’ll either have to reload gnome-panel or wait a while. Reloading isn’t the cleanest thing, but you can do it by executingkillall gnome-panel and then gnome-panel via ALT+F2.

Doing this in a normal terminal isn’t advised, because if that shell is terminated it would also end the panel process. However, if you can get around that by using nohup gnome-panel, or using the bash keyword disown after having ran the process in that terminal.
